I suffer from social anxiety IRL but I also feel little need to socialize.

I've always had 0 friends on Steam. Never been on Discord.
I always avoid joining guilds in MMOs. I turn down friend requests in other games. I have no online friends/contacts.

The only downside is that I am missing out on multiplayer games that require team coordination but I just can't stomach having to speak on a mic.

Maybe get treatment for your mental health issues.

If you are passively asking for online friends I am not interested.

you don't need nor notice absence of online friends when you run linux

online multiplayer games become a nonissue due to kernel level anticheat

I have 0 online friends too. I pushed everyone away by my own volition, maybe because II actually can't take being around people, not even online. It was hard at first, kinda boring even. But with time I grew acostumed to it. Now I don't miss online friendship anymore. It's not worth it, really.

Of course. I just assumed everyone on here avoided that sort of thing.

I am too shy for mic in gaming as well, if you don't play games with other folks online it's impossible to make friends here.

Same, the last time I had an online friend was almost 10 yrs ago. IDK if I got boring or that ppl are just not rlly interested in making friends online anymore nowadays but when I was a kid it was super easy for me to make friends on steam. It's impossible now.

I tried to make friends online but they don't wanna be friends with someone of my race and I get bullied a lot online games, so I keep my mic off.

Honestly porn addiction is something that's made me get online friends. Gooning is functionally like a drug habit, and the thing about drug buddies is they always have their druggie friends they hang out with.

Even when I ghost everyone, within two weeks I have a new friend I picked up from a coomer server on discord from sharing pics. These friendships can last like two years, and after the first 3 months we don't really do the gooning shit anymore as it's too awkward.

I'm a hot mess in real life but I seem to effortlessly make online contacts without even setting out to.

A literal online circlejerk.
